“It’s fun. I can’t wait for ‘The Hobbit,’ so it will be fun to see our crazy ‘Man of Steel’ trailer and then enjoy the Hobbit because that’s going to be great,” said Snyder. “It just feels like a fun Christmas thing to do, drag the whole family out for that action.”

He also teased the performance of Michael Shannon as General Zod.

“I was just incredibly fortunate to play with those guys who really were giving all they had to bring a level of commitment to the scenes they have together so that audiences will get an opportunity to really have their heroes taken seriously. As serious as I was taking it, and I don’t mean that from a depressing kind of way but from a, ‘This is important and fun and needs to be given the respect that it deserves,’ from that perspective it was so exciting to watch them drink the Kool-Aid of that concept and go all the way.”

Snyder is well into the post-production for the film and is nothing but enthusiastic about it: “I’m super psyched. It’s really fun. I have no superhero fatigue.”
